....and THIS, dear readers, is the result of privatization of government
jobs.

Prior to "contracting out" many Hill AFB jobs, workers
were able to pay for health insurance and contribute to retirement.

NOW...under privatization, the contractors can do the work "cheaper",
because they don't have to pay livable wages and/or provide
insurance/retirement. In 2014, the contractors will have to provide health
insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

But right now, a
hard-working man has insurmountable medical bills that the rest of us will end
up paying for, one way or another.
